Write You - Taking It from Chapels to Cubicles
The Small Business Administration predicts nearly 95% of all businesses will close or fail within five years of their opening.In my opinion, this statistic needlessly scares budding entrepreneurs. Sure, it is important that you know the odds against you, and that you conduct due diligence before signing your name onto the dotted line of a huge loan. However, one way to reduce the cost of entering into a business, improve the chances of your financial success, and minimize the downside potential of failure, is to start a home-based business.According to a U.S. Census Bureau survey of over 16 million small business owners, 64%

Surviving a crisis, more often than not, provides a chance for a total turn-around and a new direction for your business. But managing a crisis is not an easy task as it entails a lot of things to be done on multiple fronts for sure-fire results, albeit in a very short period.“Companies, whether big or small, are judged more by what they do wrong than what they do right,” claims Cindy Railing, a PR consultant from California. Your business is going to suffer if the situation at hand is not properly handled. Crisis management means immediately blocking the holes in the dam which if left unattended, even though for a short time, would

Well-established Christian groups, including the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the Promise Keepers, are putting money and support behind the movement. There are faith-at-work newsletters and blogs and books with titles like "God@Work," "Believers in Business" and "Loving Monday."

Advertising is a very precise science. It finds its bases in many different fields including copywriting, psychology and even math. In recent decades, we have observed a slow but steady beautification of advertising. For marketing experts this can work. For less savvy advertisers, it is a huge pitfall that draws attention away from the much more important aspects of a successful selling proposition. Faulty advertising costs its makers billions of dollars a year, and almost all are guilty of it, even the huge corporations.For the sake of clarity, let us define advertising as a call to action, that action being a purchase, a cont

In this installment of medical billing, covering the practice of sending claims via electronic means, we will be covering more line item detail. The record covered will be the FB1 record, which is very specific detail related to the provider of services.If you take a look at the FB1 record, you will notice that the entire record involved sending data for the various providers of services, which includes the ordering provider, referring provider, rendering provider and supervising provider. Because all the information for each provider is the same, covering name and UPIN numbers, as well as the patient ID for the claim, we're not g

A few years ago, a Fortune 500 company struck gold with a marketing theme.It was simple, direct, and it created a competitive advantage. Ads that the company ran said:“We understand the importance of LISTENING.”I happened to be a consultant to the company at the peak of this campaign, and I knew it was committed to walking the walk, not just talking the talk. It mandated that employees take listening courses on company time, at company expense.For a short time, it appeared that the rest of corporate America was taking note, and following this lead. Listening courses sprang up, overnight, seemingly everywhere.e "God@Work," "Believers in Business" and "Loving Monday."
"The idea is that Christians have for too long practiced their faith on Sundays and left it behind during the workweek, that there is a moral vacuum in the modern workplace, which leads to backstabbing careerism, empty routines for employees and C.E.O.'s who push for profits at the expense of society, the environment and their fellow human beings. No less a figure than the Rev. Billy Graham has predicted that ''one of the next great moves of God is going to be through believers in the workplace.'' To listen to marketplace pastors, you would think churches were almost passe; for them work is the place, and Jesus is the antidote to both cubicle boredom and Enron-style malfeasance."
